U.S. Citizen Services

General Information

Additionally applicants who have interviews for student and exchange visitor (F/M/J) visas scheduled for this week should bring proof of payment for the SEVIS fee.

The Consular Section also provides emergency assistance to United States citizens in distress: when an American is financially destitute, arrested, separated from minor children, or sick. The Consular Section provides assistance to families of U. S. citizens who pass away in Bahrain.
